Manchester United Women beat Burnley 3–0 in the English Women’s League Cup. Ellen Wangerheim opened the scoring in the 29th minute, and Lea Schüller added goals in the 66th and 85th to give the result a more comfortable final appearance.
The gap remained at one goal until well into the second half. Schüller’s first finish therefore changed the margin after an extended period in which a single Burnley reply would have levelled the contest. Her second made it three, while United completed the match without conceding.
The scoring sequence is more useful than treating the outcome as settled from the opening minutes. Wangerheim provided the breakthrough and Schüller supplied the later insurance, with two different players contributing across the halves. This report concerns the women’s team and the women’s League Cup specifically; the result is linked to the corresponding club and competition rather than the men’s records.
